Teenage Time Killers

This is probably going to hit every music station, website, and magazine in North America so might as well jump on the info train!  There has been workings of a super group fronted by some notable names such as Randy Blythe (Lamb of God), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Pat Smear (also Foo Fighters), Jello Biafra, and many more!

Well, the group finally did the public unveiling, and we can now welcome Teenage Time Killers!  This is a huge collaboration from many different sub genres of rock and metal.  I am not really sure what to expect or what to think about the collaborations, so I think it's best I just sit back and enjoy the ride as it comes.

Here is some of the info given to us all from the official press release.

The long-gestating brainchild of Corrosion Of Conformity founder/drummer/vocalist Reed Mullin, guitarist Mick Murphy (My Ruin, The Birds of Satan, Neanderthal) and producer John “Lou” Lousteau, Teenage Time Killers’ Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is 20 concise seismic shocks created by an all-star line up of punk and metal legends spanning decades. Joining Reed on drums and Mick on guitar on the album’s 20 mostly original tracks and few covers of underground classics (including the Rudimentary Peni deep cut that inspired the project’s title) includes: Jello Biafra, Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, Dave Grohl and Pat Smear of Foo Fighters, Nick Oliveri, Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour, Tommy Victor of Prong and Danzig, Lee Ving of Fear, Mike “IX” Williams of Eyehategod, Mullin’s Corrosion of Conformity band mates Mike Dean and Woody Weatherman, Karl Agell and many, many more. -TTK (Official Press Release)

Doesn't sound too bad if I do say so myself.  I think the only thing we are missing now is a single or some form of teaser to give fans an expectation...even though there shouldn't really be one.  I think what I gathered from all of this was the fun that members had while doing this.  It's not a tribute album, a reunion, or anything like that.  It was a simple concept to make some great music, and other musicians thought likewise.

So how's about a sample of the music?  I'm sure that could get your attention and see what kind of music they will be pumping out come July 31st, 2015.  And a side note, I am happy to see that Rise Records nabbed this release up and signed the band.  With some of the names in this lineup, it would be a BIG win for any label to capitalize on.  Check out Randy Blythe in "Hung Out To Dry", streaming below.



So what about any touring for this album?  Is this just a one off project made for the studio or will we see the guys take it on the road?

"Touring, I don't know. Dave Grohl's folks — his management and marketing people — are going to help us do all that with the thing. We recorded about 98 percent of it at his studio. They were talking about — since there's so many people from so many different bands — maybe do something like '[Jimmy] Kimmel [Live!]' and have three or four different singers come out at one time, like Jello and Lee Ving, maybe Randy from LAMB OF GOD, something like that. All the songs are real short, so we could do, easily, four songs and not go over. But you know, we'd have Brian Baker come out and play guitar, Pat Smear play bass or guitar or whatever. It's pretty star-studded." -Mullin



At least for now, we get a chance to check out the album artwork, and the track listing for the album.  Check out the details below and be sure to check back with anymore update on their progress.  There is a lot more to go between now and July 31st!
